Keep my Waldorf Pulse, or is it redundant?

[EricK]

You guys brought up a lot of interesting points about the Various synths. For me, in my current income bracket, the Voyager is about as top shelf as Im going to see for a few years.

WHen I turn into Herbie Hancock I can have myself an Oaysis and run it through a Bose speaker system.


I really don't have anything against analogue modeling. My philosophy is that if it works, by all means use it. Thats one of the reasons why I have student model horns...because they still deliver that sound, and my playing nowhere near qualifies me to spend the money that it would cost for me to have pro upgrades.

The reason the Prophet was skipping voices is because it's a stereo instrument that doesn't reduce it's output to mono when you only plug one cable in. Even though the back is labelled L/Mono, it's a typo!

I believe there is a (beta) OS update for this that has a global stereo/mono switch. In fact, I *know* there is because I have it and I run my P08 in mono. I actually like it better that way.

DSI doesn't seem to make their updates available on their web site but if you email them with a specific problem (which has happened to me 3 times between an MEK and a P08) they (many times) will send you an OS update to apply to resolve the problem.

THat list was severely lacking Moogs lolol

just teasing man.

My first keyboard was a Casio SK1 or an SK 5....whichever had the pads and the sampler. My sister had the other one, whichever wasn't the one I had. lol

My father woke me up playing with it after Santa delivered it the same year I got the Indiana Jones and the temple of Doom computer game (if you can guess which yuear that was)
